Bio
Melanie Savage - Assoc CIPD
Enthusiastic and hardworking are the words that come to my mind when thinking of Louise Brake. I had the pleasure to work with Louise for a few years at CCE. First in the data team where we worked on a big restructure project. Then in the HRIS team, working together on reports and data. Louise is very keen to share her knowledge and her excellent positive attitude plays a real key role in the teams. I would love to work with Louise again as she is a true asset for any company, and comes with my heartfelt recommendation.
Clementine Heudron
I had the opportunity to work with Louise on several occasions and I was always stunned by her professionalism. Her dedication and her skills made her a tremendous asset to the team. She is always ready to take on work and can deal with an impressively high volume of work but most importantly she has the potential to evolve quickly and it would be an honour to have the opportunity to work with her again.
